To all whom it may concern.

7 Be it known that 1, JOHN D. MCMJLLAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bishop, in the county of Inyo and State of California, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Oiling Machines, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to oiling machines especially adapted forapplying oil to floors. an object being to provide means whereby oil maybe evenly and effectually applied to a floor or similar surface in arelatively short time and with a minimum amount of labor.

Another object of the invention is the provision of novel means forregulating the oil supply whereby the quantity of oil may be regulatedand the supply of oil cut off and started without disturbing theadjustment of the supply regulating means.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of an oiling; machinewhich is capable of being transported from place to place without havingthe oil applying means on- ;rage the surface over which the machine ismoved.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includesthe following novel features and details of construction, to behereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

in the drawings Figure '1 is a side elevation of an oiling machineconstructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2'is an end view of the same.

Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical longitudinal sectional view partlybroken away.

'Figure i is an enlarged section taken substantially on the line 4 4 ofFigure 1.

Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the means formounting the operating rod upon the handle of the machine.

Referring to the drawings in detail where in like charactersof referencedenote corresponding parts, the machine is shown as comprising a framewhich includes spaced. 1 side plates 10. These plates are connected bymeans of a bar 11 which extends transversely atone end of the frame andby a yoke 12 which extends transversely at the opposite end. The platesare further spaced apart through the medium of a yoke 13 through whichextends a handle 14.

liiounted for rotation between the side plates is an oiling roller 15,the periphery of which is covered with suitable absorbing material 16 towhich oil is applied from a tank 17-. This tank is mounted upontrunnions 18' whichextend from opposite ends thereof through the sideplates 10 and i; provided with a discharge opening 18 through which oilmay flow to the roller 15. The quantity of oil passing through thedischarge opening 18 maybe regulated by a slide or plate 19 which isadjustable upon the periphery of tht tank 10 through the medium ofadjusting nuts 20. The tank is provided with a plug closed fillingopening 21.

When the tank is in the position shown in Figure 1 of the drawings theopening 18 will be disposed above the center of thetank so that the flowof oil therefrom will be cut oil and when the tank is in the positionshown in Figure 3 of the drawings this opening 18 will be dis 'ioscdbelow the center of the tank so that oil will flow by gravity to theroller For the purpose of regulating; the position of the tank 17 thereis pivotally connected to the tank as shown at 22, one end of anoperating rod 23, the said end being prof crahly curved as shown. Therod extends longitudinally of the handle 14 through guides 2st and 21".The guide 25 includes spaced resilient arms 26 having); openingsthercthrough, the edges of which i'rictionally engage the rod'23 whenthe arms are in their normally separated position. By pressing the armsinward toward one another the rod may be released so as to be movedfreely throughthe guides to rotate the tank 17. The upper end of the rod23 is provided with a handle or grip '27.

The yoke 12 has secured to its horizontal ortion a brush 28 which en aes the floor and may be used either to sweep the floor in advance of theapplication of oil, when the machine is moved in one direction, or todistribute orrub the oil into the floor when the machine is moved in anopposite direction.

For the purpose of elevating the roller 15 and brush 28 above the floorso that the machine may be transported without these ele ments engagingthe floor there are provided wheels 29. These wheels are carried at thelower ends by plates 30 which have longitudinally disposed slots31'therein. These plates are slidable in spaced guides 32 carried by theplates 10 and the said plates 10 .uiachine comprising a frame,supporting one end of the '1 spaced from the roller and supporting the:posile end of the frame, a tank for supplyii whereby the supply oil mayregulated, a handle for the frame, wheels secured to the opposite sidesof the frame and means whereby the Wheels may be adjusted to support thei'nuchine independent of the roller and hrush. v l
